United States
the USA is in tatters. my ancestors were slaves, their ancestors were slaves. who build the pyramids, Greece & Europe, if you look most of Americans ancestors were slaves, that's what led them here. im so sick & tired of hearing about what happened to American slaves. Our democracy is almost lost, stop focusing on the past. we need to work together to save the republic. did u see that crowd on 1/6? imagine if they were in charge. that's what we are up against, those people are happy when Democrats & liberals are focused on other social issues, the less you see them the more powerful they are becoming. I didn't do anything to nobody. Neither did my family. my family came over in the 1910s. they were slaves to manufactures then sent back to Europe to fight against the people they just left in 1917. My father shot at his cousin's farm in World war 2 in Italy. After the war everyone moved on because it was the only way to survive, not living in the past. I know it's hard because of the r

imagine being attacked at pearl harbor. People lived in the neighbors of their European relatives. Imagine if no one understood English except those from English speaking companies. I am sick & tired of people who choose not to learn English & being expected to speak Spanish. I don't feel sorry for them because they are uninformed because they do not speak or read English. For hundreds of year's our families had to learn English. There are 24/7 free programs on tv to learn English. Before COVID most school districts had free lessons.
Up talking guest about drilling in AL
hot tamale's
Will someone tell this women POLLS WERE HACKED IN TRUMPS FAVOR
this Democrat is using Republican talking points. Please read what the law is & please stop giving airtime to people who's goal is to manipulate & lie unless you challenge their pre-paid talking points with truth & facts. enough is enough!! I'm so disappointed in you! the media needs to start taking responsibility for their part in spreading propaganda. Did you see him at NATO? When the President is disgraced the entire country is disgraced. I have clients overseas, Before Trump, I was treated with high regard & respect when I walked into a room. That is no longer the case Do your homework before you have any more interviews on Trump/ Impeachment/ Law! STOP being part of the problem by helping to spread misinformation & propaganda.
why is this not at all about the by line.
How many people on the left does that guy think want socialism instead of Democratic socialism? He seems to think that it's a lot, and I think that he is being alarmist to push his agenda.
very interesting 👏
He’s a train wreck! Not a car accident. Signed biased
